There's a lot of bullshit going around about Islam and muslims. Let's clear it up a little.

1. Burka/ Violence towards women

Wearing the burka is only mandatoey in Iran and Saudi Arabia, 5% of all muslims.
In fact there are more islamic countries that have banned the burka.
The burka is not ment to be mandatory by the Koran, it's merely a commodity.
Four of the five most populated muslim countries have female heads of state(Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey).

2. Islam ≠ Arabia

Only 20% of the muslim population lives in the middle east/north africa; the largest part is located in middle-/east asia.

3. Islam and the willingness to violence

Here's a code Muhammad himself established for his warriors:
- No women, no children, no innocent (priests, etc.)
- no wilful murder of animals
- no wilful burning of trees, forests or fruit trees
- no destroying of water wells
Muslim conquests displayed a tolerance of religions that one failed to find in christian conquests. (see: Moors in spain - the crusades)

I'm back with some content.
Let's continue with more self-proclaimed facts of life, that might either depress, illuminate or delight you. You could also not care.

1. Change is a part of life and you will not be happy until you accept that your life and that of others will inevitabley change in one way or another.
2. When you're sick with your life and yourself in general, it's a good time to pick up a book.
3. Billions of people would love to be you. Be grateful for what you have.
4. You always need a goal.
5. It's worth retrying foods, that you didn't like as a kid. (Spinage, grapefruit, asparagus, etc.)
6. Casual swearing makes you sound dumb.
7. Every generation in general follows the current fashion trend without hesitation.
8. It is impossible to live in the wester world and not be a hypocrite or a douchebag.
9. Everyone has an addiction.
10. The way you dress and your posture greatly change the way you feel about yourself and others feel about you.

Sleep rules. It's the best next thing to being unconscious because it keeps you away from the harsh world outside your head and it's healthy at the same time. Unless you sleep 12h a day which is called lazy and will make you die.
But today we assume you have sleeping problems, so here are some remedies I have found to always work on me that don't include any drugs.

1. Listen to an audiobook. Distraction works great. I've tried with music but it only really works with music that you don't know yet, otherwise it'll just keep you awake. Audiobooks on the other hand totally do the trick. It's basically the same as your mum reading you a story for bedtime. Only less motherly and more illegally-downloaded-audiobook-of-Harry-Potter-and-the-goblet-of-firely.2. Work out. If you have sleeping problems, chances are there is something you're upset or sad about. You have to get rid of that anxiety. Start jogging, work out, go swimming. Just some sport that let's you fall to sleep immediately. You'll see the effect instantly, you lazy bum.3. Drink sleeptea. Ok. This works only if you are still a little energetic in the evening when you actually wanna go to bed. If you have serious insomnia, forget tea. Green tea, for example, let's you calm down a little and makes it easier to leave your eyes closed at night. It also tastes good, if you do it right and don't buy soime cheap wal-mart sugary shitshake.

PS: Waking up at night isn't necessarily a sleeping "Problem". It's way more natural than you might think and if you frequently wake up in the middle of the night use the time. Read a book, eat, be active. It's better than lie around passively and trying to figure out when you can sleep again.

Here are three things that you do every day since you were born, and still: chances are you are screwing them up anyway.

1. Taking a shit. A western style toilet (i.e. every toilet in america and europe (except parts of france)) helps to produce hemorrhoids like a mad man. They also let you shit in a wrong, often inconvenient ankle. More natural is the way squatting toilets (i.e. every toilet in the rest of the world, including india and china) work. You'll shit quicker and more efficiently.
2. Hygiene. Every-Day-Showering and the strong use of chemically produced soap destroy the outer layer of your skin (horny layer). Effects are irritated skin and acne. Standard soap doesn't kill the bacteria on your body it just moves them from your dick to your face. Antibacterial soap kills them but it also kills you. So shower less frequently and just wash your genitals and arm pits daily
3. Toothbrushing. Remember toothbrushing as a kid? It sucked. And rightly so: toothbrushing after every meal destroys you're teeth rather than cleaning them. Directly after meals your teeth are covered in acid, rubbing that acid around is not a very clever thing to do. Twice a day (morning & evening) is fine, more important than brushing is flossing.
